Syracuse seeks to control garage, porch and yard sales

By GLEN LONG Staff Writer The Syracuse Town Board last night adopted an ordinance to license and control garage, porch, yard and other outside sales in the Town of Syracuse. Town Attorney Bob Reed read the ordinance which requires that a $2 license be purchased for each event, which can run for only three days or less. A resident location can hold only two sales each year and there must be a four-day period between them. The ordinance will be ready to go into effect July 1 after proper advertisement. Penalty for non-compliance can range from $25 to SIOO for each day of violation. Deb Wiggins, representing Kosciusko Development Inc., was present to review with the town board a request for expansion planning of growth to the Town of Syracuse. She asked the board to target property on the outskirts of town where they would like to see the community expand. KDI plans to present a twophase plan to the Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission stating what the towns in the county would like to see, not only what KDI would like. Wiggins said that KDI wants to streamline the attracting of new investors into the county. President Jim Hughes posed the question to the board, “Do you think the Town of Syracuse wants to grow?” This led to some discussion on possible growth directions, with the consensus of opinion being that growth to the west is the only

possibility. Hughes stated that the board will consider further the growth areas possible and furnish information to KDI. Vacation Denied The petition of Jim Snyder for vacation of two alleys on North Mill Street was denied by a unanimous vote. Members Bill Hess and Carl Myrick stated their positions of being opposed to alley vacations because the town may need the areas for future utilities or other access. Other Business Minutes of previous meetings were approved and claims were approved for payment. The board approved several purchases to be made by the Street, Water and Sewer Department. These included an air conditioner for the office at a cost of $1,506.88, two mobile radios costing $Bl6 for department trucks, and an $l,lOO ‘bush hog” mower to replace an old flail mower which is no longer usable and which Myrick said has been used since 1973. Triax Cablevision, represented by Tad Ritchison, was given board approval for a name change to Triax Association Number One-LP. EMS was given the okay to buy $71,80 in supplies as requested and Hughes reported that the two time clocks purchased for the town hall need to be installed. Joe Morganthaler, member, reported that the town hall sign may be installed on the outside of the building next week. Final payments to Construction Inc. of $2,000; J. O. Morey, $500; and Fall Electric, SSOO were approved for payment. Reed said that since there is a year warranty on the building the final payments could be made. Myrick volunteered to find the old water and sewer payment dropository which has been stored. The possibility of“ either using this unit or buying a new one was discussed after Betty Dust reported from the floor that several citizens have requested that a drop box be installed again. The board approved payment of $361.06 to the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns to help in the intervention proceedings against continuing rate increases by NIPSCO. Hughes stated for recording in the minutes the appreciation of the board for all the people who helped make the recent open house at the town hall a success. These included Susan Myrick, Jenny Lewis, firemen, street employees, Syracuse Chamber of Commerce, VFW, American Legion and Ken Harkless, for the beautiful pictures he made available for the building. Reed reported an ordinance change is needed in the salary ordinance so park department employees can be paid. This was approved. . Ron Sharp remonstrated from the floor against additional appropriation requested for the sanitary sewer system, stating that a previous advertisement did not properly state this as a possibility. To allow time to check out this point, the board continued the request portion of $7,500 for the sanitary sewer system and only approved appropriations of $50,000 for streets and $2,000 for storm sewers. Myrick brought up the subject of the condition of the property just south of the town hall. He stated the original zoning approval called for no outside storage but, “It looks like he’s creating a junkyard.” He said the

Rural j numbering moves slowly

The Kosciusko County Council last week approved a motion requesting the Kosciusko County Commissioners to determine the cost of the proposed rural numbering system if they favor the proposal. This action fell short of being a request for the commissioners to adopt the proposal. The board of commissioners attended the meeting and President Fred Gilliam stated a decision would be forthcoming from the commissioners in the near future. The major reason the proposal has not yet been approved is apparently the cost of implementation, which is estimated to be $65,000 over a three-year period. The accuracy of this figure was questioned by several council members who said that many court house records would have to be changed if the rural numbering plan was adopted. The rural numbering system, which has been presented to the county three times in a year, would change the county’s rural route address system to one based on specific geographic locations. Medical, fire and emergency services support the new numbering plan and claim it would improve their response time in emergencies. Some rural numbering system committee members expressed disappointment at the lack of a recommendation by the council. Don Frantz said he wondered where an accurate cost estimate would be acquired if the one already submitted after so much work was considered unacceptable. The committee’s plan had been submitted to the commissioners several weeks ago. At that time the group was told the commissioners wanted input from the county council. After reviewing the plan, the council had asked for last week’s joint meeting. The request for a new rural numbering system is not a new subject. Proposals in 1979 and 1982 were both tabled indefinitely by the commissioners.

Kiley pledged his support for many of the ongoing DNR activities as they relate to the Syracuse and area lakes community. Kiley proved an able advocate of his interest in the activities of the Department of Natural Resources, and surprised no one in his ability to communicate his many points of interest.
